(% 9C8;<:FE;@K@FE% A dull or damaged blade can break apart during operation, increasing the risk
of operator injury. Do not operate with a dull, cracked or badly worn blade. Inspect the blade for
cracks, missing teeth, and weld condition before each use.

by machine or cut by the blade.
*% <EK8E>C<D<EK?8Q8I;J% Tie back loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair to prevent the operator
being pulled into the moving blade.

and pulleys to reduce the risk of serious injury. Always keep the blade guard in place during
operation.
+% 9C8;<I<GC8:<D<EK% The blade can only make a safe and efficient cut with the teeth facing the
workpiece in the correct direction. When replacing blades, make sure the teeth face toward the
workpiece and the pivot side of the machine. Wear gloves to protect hands and safety glasses to
protect eyes.
,% NFIBG@<:<?8E;C@E>% Always support the workpiece with the table, vise, or other support
fixtures. Flag long pieces to avoid a tripping hazard. Never hold the workpiece with your hands
during a cut.

We do not recommend using an extension cord; however,
if you have no alternative, use the following guidelines:
• Use a cord rated for Standard Service (S).
• Do not use an extension cord longer than 50 feet.
• Ensure that the cord has a ground wire and pin.
• Use the gauge size listed below as a minimum.

=cffiCfX[1 This machine distributes a
heavy load in a small footprint. Some
residential floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and
operator.
Nfib`e^:c\XiXeZ\j1 Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through the machine, and space
for auxiliary stands, work tables or other
machinery when establishing a location for
your Machine Type.
C`^_k`e^1 Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
<c\Zki`ZXc1Electrical circuits must be
dedicated or large enough to handle
amperage requirements. Outlets must be
located near each machine, so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Follow local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets,
or circuits.

The table and other unpainted parts of your
bandsaw are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents such as brake parts cleaner or
acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Once the assembly is complete, test run the machine to
make sure it runs properly for regular operations.
The test run consists of verifying the following: 1) The
motor powers up and runs correctly, and 2) the safety
disabling mechanism on the switch works correctly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine
immediately, then review KiflYc\j_ffk`e^ on GX^\*..
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech
Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.

This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. @]XkXep
